We are shooting a test with the Epic Dragon next week. I might do a

Really cool stuff, but thanks to Saint Méliès I've managed to convince them
it wouldn't work post wise.
As for Alexa's 800 ASA I have to say that it gives me
I just came back from a shoot where I did just that - insist on 2k
compression. We were meant to shoot 3k raw but since production
failed to secure a T-Link, 2k prores was the next best thing I
could ask for. I told them 422 would be unacceptable for vfx,

The lowend Alexa shoots 12 bit Prores 444 on the SxS cards in LogC. Though
for whatever reason tv shows always seem to shoot it in 422 mode. I'm not
sure if it's out of habit or they are trying to get more time on each SxS
card? I always ask the vfx house why and they shrug their shoulders and
